Taylor, to the responsible office of deacons, took place at the First Baptiat Church on Sunday morning last. The pastor, Rev. Dr. Pritchard, preached a sermon appropriate to the occasion, tak ing his text from the third chapter of the 1st Letter of Paul, to Timothy; dwelling particularly upon the office, qualifications and duties of a deacon, thoroughly analiz ing the subject and presenting it in all its phases, showing that the duties of a deacon, when properly dischargedj were. all-Impor tant to the welfare and progress of the Church and the advancement of its mem bership in the divine life. At the conclu sion of the sermon Senior Mitchell were designated to conduct the deacons-elect to their places in front of the pulpit, and Rev. Mr. Pritchard, father of the pastor; Rev. J. B. Barlow and Rev. G. S. Jones, were requested to come forward and act as a Presbytery. The solemn and impressive ceremony of ordination by prayer and the laying on of hands was then performed. Rev. Mr. Pritchard delivering a touching and appropriate prayer. In conclusion the pastor called attention to the fact that Deacon Taylor was the son of a deacon who had long and faithfully served the Church in Fayetteville, and that Deacon 'French was, both the son and grandson of a deacon.. , i . .

He ran his cane down into the earth and found the soil Very loose," and at last the stick touched some object which resisted its fur ther progress.' Visions of pots pr boxes of buried gold and silver went flitting through his mind and made him so nervous that he called another man to share his good for tune, if it should prove to be such, or his disappointment, if such should be hia f ate. hewbwent to work and soon unearthed woat. proved, instead:ora box,ctrounea treasure--a tiny coffin containing the body of an infant. Shocked by what he had dis covered, Mosely hurried to the City Hall and lodged information with Chief of Pq- lice'Brock, who soon afterwards, rode out in search of Coroner Jacobs,' who, not be-, ing at home, was finally traced to Mt. Olive church, corner of Second and Daw son streets. Taking him in his buggy they went to the spot, viewed the remains, left a-man to watch them and then left word with Gibson, the city undertaker, to bring the body in and keep charge of it until yes terday morning, which he did. In the meantime the news had spread, and adja cent hills and vales were soon covered with people hastening to the spot, and it is estimated that at least three or four hun dred finally gathered by the tiny grave, the most-of whom were" colored. Yesterday morning Dr. F. W. Potter, city physician, examined the body, which was considera bly decayed', and pronounced it a white child. Second Presbyterian Cbureb. Rev. J. M.
